“I got a tune up on my car then discovered that the misfire in my engine coils is a manufacturer defect. This needs to be fixed as soon as possible. Some times when I crank my car the engine will try to start but makes a constant sputter and then I cut it off I have to let it sit for an hour and then try to crank it again to seee if it will start. My battery, starter, and alternator are good.”
